Warm Springs is the courthouse town of Bath County and reflects more than 200 years of settlement in the Warm Springs Valley. Located near the center of the county, the community encompasses a small village core and its surrounding rural landscape. Its significant natural resources include the flanking mountains, Warm Springs Run, and the historic thermal springs. Notable properties include the early-19th-century Oakley Farm, writer Mary Johnston’s home at Three Hills (1913), the Greek Revival courthouse (1914), the Homestead Dairy Barns (1928), Miller’s mill (ca. 1901), the 19th-century Warm Springs Bath Houses, two antebellum churches, and the 1840s courthouse and jail near the springs, which later became an inn.
